Food workers union keeps pressure on Nemenz

A union is keeping the pressure on local grocer Henry Nemenz even though he closed his store in Hubbard.

The United Food and Commercial Workers sent Nemenz a letter last week that said it intended to place informational pickets at his Poland Save-A-Lot store. The union also started picketing his Save-A-Lot store in Sharon, Pa., right after the Hubbard IGA store closed Sept. 8.

“They are bound and determined to put me out of business where ever they can,” Nemenz said.

Officials at the Cleveland headquarters of UFCW Local 880 could not be reached for comment.
